At the seminar the speakers said Kim Jong Il wisely led the overall affairs of the country, holding the important post of the chairman of the NDC.

During the hardest days of the country he remarkably consolidated the state political structure and firmly defended socialism by pursuing Songun politics and thus opened up a new era of prosperity in the country, they noted, adding:

He has developed the Korean People's Army, which has tightly held the arms of revolution and class, into the powerful revolutionary Paektusan army strong in the idea of devotedly defending the leader and into invincible combat forces equipped with all modern offensive and defensive means.

His noble intention and desire are coming true thanks to the dear respected Marshal Kim Jong Un.

They stressed the need to make great efforts to implement the decision of the recent plenary meeting of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea and to glorify this year marking the 65th anniversary of the DPRK and the 60th anniversary of victory in the Fatherland Liberation War as a year of creation and change under the leadership of Kim Jong Un.

Present there were Hyon Sang Ju, chairman of the Central Committee of the GFTUK, and its officials and members and workers.
